Thanks to a great recommendation from dearest\u00a0Sheila\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/josephinesicadphotography.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/19\/a-day-in-the-life-the-kim-family-sydney-australia\/\">Kim Family<\/a>) who introduced them to my photography, too.<\/p>\n<p>I was so excited to find out later \u00a0that Japanese blood runs through them (their family name did sound a little obvious). If you knew me for a long time now, I have such big love for anything relating to the Japanese culture. Although Daddy Sam was already raised here in Australia and Mommy Lily migrated here too from China, it was too\u00a0cute to meet their\u00a0adorable sweet kids &#8212; Madelyn (such a doll!) and Lucas (very smart kiddo!). We spent the day full of cheer and visited\u00a0some of their favorite places around town.<\/p>\n<p>The next time I visited Sydney Park was when we set up a playdate with Madelyn and Pixie (while I delivered the photos to Mommy Lily) \u00a0and they sure both had fun! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again Mommy Lily and Daddy Sam for the chance to be part of your family&#8217;s keepsakes!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19190\"
